Springhead/Saddleworth Baptism Leonard Clayton
« on: Thursday 27 March 14 09:37 GMT (UK) »
Hi there

Am stuck on the parentage of Leonard Clayton born © 1885 Springhead Yorkshire.  Everything is pointing to John Clayton but I have found a marriage Cert stating George which throws all my research out of the window.

I hope you can help me?

Regards

MJB

Hi MJB

I see that Leonard (5 b Springhead) and probable brother Harold (7 b Springhead) are with grandparents Thomas and Mary Ann Smith in Saddleworth in 1891.  If this is your Leonard, have you traced the Smiths and any marriage of a daughter of theirs to a Mr Clayton?

Obviously the birth cert for Leonard (Sep qtr 1885 or Mar qtr 1886 Saddleworth) would establish his parentage for you.  If he was orphaned young then in later life he may have been mistaken about his father's given name.

I see that YorkshireBMD shows two boys called Leonard Clayton registered in the Delph subdistrict of Saddleworth in 1885.  The first had mother's maiden name Brooks, the second Hague.

One Harold Clayton was born in the same subdistrict in 1883, mother's maiden name Hague.

Really good work  ;)  I've been all over the place!

There is a death for Alice Clayton 1890 born 1859 which fits with 1881

Yes the Alice death looks likely - again registered in Delph subdistrict.

I am not easily finding the link to Thomas Smith from the 1891, though wondering whether he was a stepfather to either George or Alice.  He was widowed in 1861; remarried to Mary Ann by 1871.

Added: in 1871 there is a 12 yo daur Alice in the Smith household - wonder whether she started life as Alice Hague. 1871 ref is RG10/4333/76/24.

How about this marriage -

December quarter 1861 - Ashton Registration District 8d, page 727 - Thomas Smith and Mary Ann Hague appear on the same page.

1891 census says Mary Ann Smith born Stockport.
